VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Crepusculum]

I respect that feeling, but almost all of the people complaining
1. Stole this product
2. Have no capacity to make a game themselves and thus, no idea what kind of work goes into it. It's simply entitlement.
3. Can't even point me to a game that's equivalent or a dev who does it better.

They ignore the fact that this game just gave them a dozen sex scenes, a bunch of great character development, so fun dialogue and a enjoyable few hours FOR FREE and instead focus on the fact that they didn't get what they thought should be in there. I know people like this in real life, and they are miserable assholes who are never satisfied, so they try and ruin things for others, because if they can't be happy*, no one should be.

Look how much content we just got.

*They are never happy.

the ONLY real problem with this game is the long time between updates.
I truly believe DPC is a genius, extremely talented, and the AVN developer in the world right now, he captures something no one else has been able to, as a total.

HOWEVER, he isn't perfect, the man banned me for sending him a private message on discord saying i finally have the financial means to support him, after seeing the game on F95. Once i felt i could afford it, the FIRST thing i spent money on was his patreon, and he rejected my pledge and banned me - and i STILL wish i could find a way to support him via patreon and reverse the ban.

Is it possible that he is doing EVERYTING perfect and this is as fast as he can put out updates? possible. is it likely? no. for a multitude of reasons, including his past activities.

How does Jill react to the MC suddenly not choosing her in episode 8 for Sage? Assuming he chose to go with her instead of taking care of Sage. Honest question.

At the party you have a flashback memory where you dumped her before the party - dude, she cries like a fountain. Man, even Jill haters will feel sorry for her.

Bingo. It was a long wait but I've been enjoying the hell out of CH9. I'm still picking apart the different branches. There is a LOT of content to go through. We knew from the beginning that CH9 was going to take place at the Halloween party. I really don't know how anyone expected all of the cliffhangers to be resolved in this episode. Anyway. Loved the party, loved the banana suit, loved the characters, and loved the episode overall.

Only complaint I have is Bianca. She's a fucking hottie but I'm not really fond of landmine characters and she's shaping up to be a massive one. By the looks of it, it seems the only way a Bianca branch is going to be a thing is by cheating on Jill. I was hoping there was a path to her if Jill Rejected MC in CH8 since she's clearly interested in MC, but it turns out MC opts to stay out of the Mattie/Olivia situation on that route. I will get Bianca's booty somehow though...

 

[JKTHEBOSS]

I have a loop problem where the game loops to interlude while in the Halloween party and it happens continuously

 

[Fun Shaundi]

Guys, I just noticed this:
In all my playthroughs I managed to buy the windows for the mansion, fix the place and even have like $20-$27 to spare. However, when I checked the characters' bios in this last update, in all of them say Rusty had to sell his car. Even after he offered Tremolo to lend him his car in the future.
Can someone confirm if they're also having this issue as well?

 

[walker188]

I would definitely like to fuck Tara again. It is a pity that there is no way to do this in front of everyone during the party, hiding behind her "ghost costume".

Shit, that would have been epic. Definitely a missed opportunity there not to tell her Oscar was trying to cheat and a be rewarded with a semi public fuck. Damn.

Wait, AGAIN?

Did we have sex with Tara and I missed it?

 

[Mr. Muscles]

At the party you have a flashback memory where you dumped her before the party - dude, she cries like a fountain. Man, even Jill haters will feel sorry for her.

Are you for real? I am yet to play this update. I assume this only happens if you go to the date and rejects her? Cause you can still pursue her by taking care of Sage, she's just no that invested in the MC in this scenario.

I like Jill, but I had to choose.

I wanted to cry. I don't think the flashback where he picks Sage or M/J over Jill was well done. It should have been done better.
The Bella one was done superbly!

 

[Deleted member 5375469]

I have done every Jill route and can't get any of her story renders. I'm not on a modded game nor are my saves. Does anybody have this issue?

Also does anybody know how to get Josy render 5th row 1st render?

 

[Cedrog]

OMG! This update was sooooo ANNOYING!!! There was way too much free rom and that's always been the worst part of this game.
I'm not really following the forum so I don't how people feel about this feature but I guess if after 3 seasons they're still using it so much people must like it. (for some reasons) Which probably makes me in the minority so I guess fuck my opinion then but still I wanted to share it.

You mentioned F95 to DPC in a pm... oh my sweet summer child
Why would you still care ? If he doesn't want your money, so be it and he won't run out of funds any time soon.

You'll never hear me claim the guy isn't a weird asshole. Or that his business practices aren't a little fucked up. Or that I don't wish we got content faster. I truly sympathize with everything you're saying.

For me, it comes off as pathetic, when people come on here, claiming to speak for everyone, then blast the new episode as if were a pile of shit and huge middle finger to the customers. It's really not. But when people get obsessed with something, they feel they have some ownership of it, and that if a release isn't a 10, its a 0. Like I said before, they're not happy and so they want everyone else to be unhappy too.

For what its worth, I'm glad you tried to support and I'm glad you get to enjoy the game.

I don't have a problem with free rooming as long as it's manageable, but i agree that this episode was a lot of free room, kind of too much.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I will raise the problem of psychology in your second paragraph. Yes, people generally do not see the whole picture of what is happening. Here the situation is this: people have been waiting for the development of the script for a very long time - they got a little different, the episode is almost entirely dedicated to the party. And they got angry. "How is it? We waited so long to find out about Cathy Cluck, Bella's closed door. What links Lynette and Royce, and other secrets! And we just get a party?"
Whereas a person who only yesterday discovered Being a DIK, playing all nine Episodes at once, will not notice anything. He will say: "Cool party!".
It is a matter of perception of the situation of two people who find themselves in different conditions.

but wouldn't it be more helpful and easier if you explained what you liked instead of explaining why others (others who?) wouldn't like it?

Jill's my second favourite girl. Did you notice that if you dump her early in the story - I dumped her at the first tennis date - and you help her at the concert neither her nor Bianca will be mad at you? I guess you still have a chance with her.

Episode 8, dorm party. Agree to Sarah proposal. She brings Tara and Penny to the toilet and MC has sex with them through the glory hole.

 

[ffive]

Can someone confirm if they're also having this issue as well?

It's a bug, supposedly it's been fixed in the game update released a bit earlier today.

You mentioned F95 to DPC in a pm... oh my sweet summer child
Why would you still care ? If he doesn't want your money, so be it and he won't run out of funds any time soon.

so the short quick answer to why i still care is that I'm an idiot, its hard for me to enjoy something so much without supporting it, and i would have also wanted access to updates and stuff. i know updates are usually posted here, but i have no idea how to track those messages superficially out of the thousands of messages.

And yes, total summerchild move, that was before i was aware of the META and LORE that is DPC, seriously.

You'll never hear me claim the guy isn't a weird asshole. Or that his business practices aren't a little fucked up. Or that I don't wish we got content faster. I truly sympathize with everything you're saying.

I agree with what you're saying - there is a reason this game is where it is, and at it's worse this game is still one of the best games around (and i've been playing similar games for 20 years)

thank you for the sentiment, and the fun conversation

Definitely too much. I was really irritated after by second run, but I don't know how else it could have been handled, really. The best I can say is your choices do matter in this game, but in order for the development time not to stretch even loooooooooonger (DPC would have to basically make multiple games simultaneously) its probably the best solution, at least for this episode.
